(FT2) UPDATED -> Fake? E-P2 price and specs
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
Two of our trusted sources told us that this specs are close to the real ones but not the exact E-P2 specs! We hope to get the real E-P2 specs soon!
——————–
Just received this from an anonymous sender. I don’t know if this specs are true. He sent me an image of the specs in japanese. Can you help me to translate it?
UPDATE: No one else than Thom Hogan helped me 
“third item is 3″ 460k dot LCD
seventh item is 3.5-4 fps shooting rate” Thanks!
Also John helped us:
“I think the only improvements are:
1) True Pic V+
2) External EVF 1.44mp
3) 3″ LCD 460k
4) 1080p 30fps
5) Flash Sync 1/180 or 1/250 and below
6) 3.5 ~ 4 fps shooting speed”
Radu added following information:
“Also, it looks it works with Oly RM-1 IR remote control instead of the cable RM-UC-1, and the flash sync has an 1/250s option.”
Price:
E-P2 alone Body / 79,800 yen ($880)
E-P2 kit lens / 89,800 yen ($990)

3 years ago |i tried my best to translate a little.
the 3rd is image stabilization.
then the 4th item. i no idea about the title. but ep1 is optical as stated, while ep2 is is digital n stated 1.44million.
the 5th is 3″ LCD 460k dots.
7th is stated external “something”..lol
11th item. is 1 sentence “no idea”, 2nd is center-weighted focus.
obviously 13th is shutter speed..
14th is something regarding seconds (time) as well. 1/180s or (1/250s n below)

EV 0-18 and EV 2-18?

3 years ago |looks like it only does 720/30p. I must pass if this is the case. Here’s hoping that the RED Scarlet is under $4k…
Hubert
3 years ago |Well, second yellow row is about an optional 1.4 megapixel EVF so presumably the Epson one rumoured before.

3 years ago |I’m don’t know Japanese, but after trying online translation 4th item looks like viewfinder description, in case of e-p1 only optical option is available, in case of e-p2 it is electronic with 1,44 million pixels. Of course I can be wrong because it’s hard to OCR symbols from lo-res image.

hmmm…. I don’t need all these.
If AF lag can be halved, that would be more than enough
AF assist lamp for low light shooting would be very useful as well..

3 years ago |4th item is external viewfinder. E-P1 is optical External Viewfinder, E-P2 is digital Electronic external viewfinder.
Phil Knall
3 years ago |The prices are lower than the E-P1 is right now in Japan. Doubtful.

1080p…but in fact it’s dinosaur’s and mammal’s hybrid. this is anachronism, they must extinct with these unsquare pixels and other weirdos from analog to digital media transition times. i was hoping they will cope with video well, but gimmicks are always not perfect, what makes us to want next one… anyways, ricoh is on the way, interesting things happening!
stimmer
3 years ago |Stronics, didn’t understand a word of what you just said, other than you are a Ricoh fan. (I don’t know 1 person who owns a Ricoh)
These stats look good so far. Would love the external white balance of the E3.
Why is the viewfinder on the hotshoe? That means you can trigger a hotshoe flash or flash transmitter, which ruins a lot of practical applications.
I agree with others though. Improve autofocus speed and the movie mode and this will be good.
Can anybody tell me if 30FPS is enough? Some of these have 60FPS at 720P, so does it look crappy?

3 years ago |is there any build in flash on ep2 according to the spec above???

3 years ago |About Remote, that table said “same as left-side (E-P1) and RM-1 support added.”
Smit
3 years ago |Weird video resulotion… better then 720p, not quite 1080i and certainly not 1080p btw
Well at least it is in the high def ranges

3 years ago |stimmer: i’m about oly’s solution with format of 1280×1080, not oly itself. this opens doors to tell “camera with 1080p!”, but in real you don’t get 1080p, just gimcrack. ricoh or not ricoh, who cares (in this case you was looking like oly fanboy), i look to any developer, it’s oly, pany or ricoh and just want normal solution – or support of full 1920×1080, or just 1280×720, who needs these relics and inbetween formats. anamorphic means degradation in digital domain, so they must extinct already, like HDV. you know, even if we look deeper – don’t waste resources for conversions, it eats lots of power and ain’t good for ecology
